ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study was undertaken firstly, to introduce Philip McLachlan as a person and acknowledge his achievements as conductor of the Stellenbosch University Choir. Secondly his methods and techniques are made available to those who want to benefit from them. Thirdly, the development of the University Choir, from an amateur standard to the high standard that they have reached, was followed. The characteristic qualities of the Choir, which also played an important role in achieving a high standard of performance, are named and looked into. Fourthly the influence of Philip McLachlan and the Stellenbosch University Choir on choral singing in South Africa, is broadly outlined. Philip McLachlan's biography is dealt with. Priority is given to incidents which have proven to be important to his general musical development and specifically to his career as choirmaster. His characteristics, and especially those which have made him an above-average choirleader, are discussed. The talents which enabled him to attain success as a performing musician are mentioned. His development as conductor is described and special attention is given to his continuous striving to reach the best possible quality of choir tone. His norms and conduct as stage performer are looked into, his conducting techniques are determined and those methods which contributed to reaching a high quality of performance, are discussed. A cursory view of the history of the Stellenbosch University Choir is given. Research into the developments which led the Choir to the high standard that they reached, was undertaken. The characteristic qualities of the Choir, especially those essential to its success, are described. The reasons for the leading role of the Stellenbosch University Choir amongst South African choirs at that time and for the spreading of its influence, are given. The impact the choir had on overseas audiences is given as reason why it could compete with other good choirs in the world at that time. Philip McLachlan's continuous influence on choral work in South Africa is motivated and given as reason why he has been repeatedly called "the father of choir singing in South Africa".
